Oklahoma City Nightmare

I stand in awe at the reflecting pool

Years have passed, slow and cruel

One hundred and sixty eight died that day

 

Twisted metal and burning flesh,

Burning cars, blasted windows,

A collapsing building

Now nothing left

 

Just a pool and stone chairs

A marathon remembering every year

Terrorism costs more than money

It costs lives, it costs freedom,

A nation stands as one making a solemn vow

 

We shall never forget

this poem reminds us...we will never forget....one of my students is doing her research paper on the 9/11 tragedy ...and the argument that it might have been a conspiracy.

maybe...but again , something we will never forget..she was in fifth grade when it happened...

but she remembers.

Everyone above five should remember that day pretty well. Thank you for reading. That is the question after every tragedy. Did the government do it or did they let it happen? We will never know.
